1. Screenshot attached. I have been using two screens but to simplify things I have confirmed that only having one makes no difference, so I am sticking to that whilst testing.

2. I did already have show seconds set, I have now tried without and it doesn't seem to make a difference

3. I thought I had disabled all extensions, though I am not entirely sure of the official method of doing that. If I go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ I see only Desktop Icons, Ubuntu App Indicators and Ubuntu Dock and they are all disabled, but as you can see from the screenshot I don't see exactly the same as I see if I logon using Gnome. For instance the Dock is not autohiding. So I don't know what is going on there. Logging on using Gnome does not stop the leak though.

I see I have a larger selection of logon options than I see in a clean install, I have Gnome, Gnome Classic, Gnome on Xorg, Ubuntu, Ubuntu on Wayland, and Unity. I tried them all a few days ago and they all exhibited the leak except Gnome Classic and Unity, though I have done a lot of cleaning up trying to fix the problem since then so if it would be useful I can repeat that test.
